Ok so one thing is to turn off spectate.

Second thing is to use a defensive team so the opponent isn't aware that they are losing, and then watch youtube if they timerstall.

Third, although minimize chansey is annoying, you can go off rails and do feint attack/stomp to counter.

Hard losses can be avoided by refusing to battle anyone outside of your ranking rated. This also helps prevent smurfing.
